Folks
In a test Centos 8 installation as a guest of VirtualBox on Windows
10, I want to install ffmpeg, and support for exfat. They're not in
the standard distribution (as far as I know), so I issue as root:
 yum -y --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates install ffmpeg
fuse-exfat exfat-utils
and that works just fine. The ffmpeg functionality works; I
haven't tested exfat yet. However, later, as part of maintenance,
I want to get a list of everything that's installed, so I issue
 yum list installed
and the following diagnostics occur:

By the way, cpanm works ok too.
My questions are:
What do these diagnostics tell me? What am I supposed to do about it?
Thanks for your help
David
I think its telling you that perl is NOT installed but the listed
perl modules are installed although it could be looking for
specifically the 5.26 version of perl (since you mentioned the CPAN
works). What happens if you issue perl -v? perl gets installed as
a dependency of logwatch as an example so a lot of people don't
realize that they have perl installed whether they want it or not.
Cheers,
Dave

Perl is explicitly installed, "perl -v" identifies v5.26.3, and comes
from the standard Centos 8 repositories. So, I suspect your
interpretation doesn't fit the facts.

Not seeing that here but it appears you are running newer versions of at
least perl-DBD-MySQL, perl-DBD-SQLite and perl-DBI (snipped from "yum
list installed" on my CentOS 8 VM after running "yum update"):
perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 4.023-6.el7 @anaconda
perl-DBD-SQLite.x86_64 1.39-3.el7 @anaconda
perl-DBI.x86_64 1.627-4.el7 @anaconda
What repo are you pulling the listed packages from? Is it the same repo
as for perl? I'm getting:
root@bend ~]# perl -v
This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for
x86_64-linux-thread-multi
for perl. Since you said you're running 5.26.3 but from a standard repo
which doesn't match what I'm seeing (5.16.3), I'm thinking your
mismatches are due to the listed modules being built against a newer
version of perl.
Cheers,
Dave
